Pomelo Malindi

Pomelo Malindi, a 2026 fragrance from the Italian brand New Notes, is equally woody and citrus, with strong spicy, floral and amber sides and a smaller aromatic touch.

The opening is fresh and icy: pomelo brings a juicy, slightly bitter grapefruit-like citrus, yuzu a tart, aromatic brightness and lime extra zest. Mint and an ice accord add a cool, almost frosty clarity, while nutmeg brings a gentle, warm spice. In the heart, orange blossom gives a soft, honeyed floral note. The base is smooth: sandalwood brings a creamy woodiness and white amber a warm, clean finish.

Malindi is a town on the Kenyan coast, and the scent has a sunny, coastal feel. The profile suggests spring and summer, daytime, holidays and casual occasions. It is meant to be worn by anyone who likes icy citrus with soft spice and warm woods, and wants a fresh, refreshing scent for hot weather.
